Novashell won't load

Hello.
I just installed Novashell on Windows XP. When I try to start the program all I get is an error message from Windows saying that game.exe has found an error and then I'm trown back to Windows again.
I also tried to load one of the sample games with the same result.
With such an uninformative error message I'm quite lost, does anyone have any idea at all about what might be wrong?

The error message just states that game.exe has found an error and is shutting down.

My sound card and openGL works fine, and my account does have full administrator privileges.

As for the log file, it is empty. Novashell never really starts up, the screen goes blank, changes resolution, and then throws me back to windows. I did try to run it in windowed mode with the same results.

EDIT: I installed the program on a computer with the exact same configuration as mine, and it works fine on that computer. That means there is something wrong with my computer. Since I'm getting a new computer next week, I'll wait until then. Thank you both for your help!

Ahh, I see now, thanks Pleng. This is a bug having to do with the fullscreen toggle being queued to happen at the end of the frame, and the screen resolution resetting happening right away.

I'll fix this, but as a work around for now you could get around this by starting up initially in windowed mode, or switching to windowed mode in something safe like 640X480, waiting a few ticks, then setting to the real resolution.
